Directions
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat and then add the carrots, onions, and celery. Sauté briefly and then add the mushrooms. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the oregano, cumin, and chili powder and stir the pot. Increase the heat and add the meat. Cook until it is browned and break the meat up with a wooden spoon.
